PORTLAND, OR — (Marketwired) — 04/27/15 — Fairway America (http://fairwayamerica.com/), the nation’s leading authority on small balance real estate (SBRE) pooled investment funds, today announced the launch of Habitribe Fund I, LLC’s (“Habitribe” or the “Fund”) $50M fund on SBREfunds.com (http://sbrefunds.com), a crowdfunding marketplace that focuses exclusively on quality products and information in the pooled real estate asset based investment space. SBREfunds.com is building the world’s leading community of SBRE fund managers, and Habitribe’s LLC’s fund listing will generate immediate exposure to accredited investors looking for opportunities in SBRE pooled investment funds. SBREfunds.com’s platform provides accredited investors with a private and secure environment to network with one another and obtain access to resources educating them about small balance real estate. Investors can anonymously review and select investment opportunities presented by fund managers inside the marketplace and contact the managers directly themselves if and when they prefer. “No crowdfunding site or investment portal exclusively offers access to blind pooled funds like we do,” said Matt Burk, CEO of Fairway America. “With each successful fund, we continue to establish SBREfunds.com as the number one place for SBRE entrepreneurs and fund managers to receive high-level education, information, peer feedback and other functions central to their operations, all in one place.” Habitribe LLC is a Miami based company specializing in the nationwide acquisition and improvement of undervalued real estate. Listing their Fund on SBREfunds.com’s Marketplace creates an opportunity for the company to gain rapid exposure and help effectively raise capital at inception. The Fund will focus on acquiring single family residential properties, and occasionally multifamily and commercial properties at attractive prices that can produce a significant return to the Fund in a relatively short time frame, endeavoring to produce a reliable stream of income for investors. The Fund will be managed by Habitribe Management Group LLC which is owned and operated by Jose Javier Hidalgo and Henry Batievsky, two real estate veterans with 20 years of experience in all aspects of the real estate industry. Habitribe LLC has retained the services of Fairway America to provide professional Fund administration and investor relations functions. “We have a wealth of experience in improving undervalued real estate, but Henry and I needed the exposure to help attract investors and raise capital,” said Hidalgo. “We’re fully confident that Fairway America’s platform is a great fit to help ensure that we both retain high quality administrative services and gain maximum exposure through the SBREfunds.com Marketplace.” For more information about Fairway America, please visit: http://fairwayamerica.com For more information about SBRE Funds, please visit: http://sbrefunds.comAbout Fairway America Fairway America, LLC is a longtime real estate lender, fund manager and real estate finance advisory firm providing strategic business planning services nationwide to SBRE entrepreneurs and independent registered investment advisors around the structure, architecture, and administration of proprietary 506 Regulation D pooled investment funds.
